Chapter 208: She Is Missing
[Next Morning]
Evelyn woke up to the sharp rays of the sun filtering through the curtains. The warm light gently illuminated the room, casting a soft glow over everything. She tried to reach out for Zevian but found the space beside her empty. With a scowl, she opened her eyes and realized he must have left for work early.
Turning around, she took her phone and looked at the time, which was already ticking past noon. She then scrolled through her messages and saw one from Zevian, sent around 9 AM.
"I am leaving for the office. Will be late because of a board meeting."
She sighed out loud. She had no clue how he had so much strength while she was still aching from their last night’s workout. Her entire body was screaming in protest, and she could still feel his warm touches all over her, making her blush slightly.
Getting up from the bed, she quickly rushed to the bathroom to get ready. Elias must also be up, and she was sure he must be feeling awkward in this new place.
Making sure to wear something that covered the bites on her neck, Evelyn combed her hair with her hands and walked downstairs.
The butler greeted her and informed her that everyone was in the garden. Evelyn blinked and walked out, curious about what was happening.
In the garden, under the patio, she saw her mother and mother-in-law having tea, watching Elias and Kiana play around on the wet grass. Kiana’s laughter filled the air when Elias caught her and, lifting her, swirled her in the air.
